Uses

For prevention of P. falciparum malaria in adults, alongside bite prevention. Because Maloff Protect is effective against drug sensitive and drug resistant P. falciparum, it is especially recommended where the pathogen might be resistant to other antimalarials. Official guidelines (e.g. WHO and public health authority guidelines) and local information on the prevalence of resistance to antimalarial drugs should be taken into consideration.
